My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sweet, Loving, Resilient - adoption fee reduced

Hi there… I’m Benny, a 3 year old gentle boy with a big heart and a soft spirit. My eyes and ears don’t work as well as most cats’, but that just means I rely a little more on love, trust, and the people who care for me.

I may need extra time to learn my surroundings, but once I know my space, I’ll be right by your side for snuggles, chin scratches, and slow, cozy days together. I’d do best in a calm home that isn’t too big—somewhere safe where I won’t get turned around or overwhelmed.

Dogs probably aren’t the best match for me—they move fast and can be a little too surprising—but patient humans? I adore them, and I show my love in quiet, heartfelt ways.

My adoption fee has been reduced to help me find the perfect home—one filled with kindness, routine, and someone who understands that love doesn’t need perfect sight or perfect hearing to be strong.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who feels every moment deeply, I might just be the one.

If you are interested in adopting, applications can be found on our website www.ahimsahaven.org. 

 

Meet and greets are with an approved application by appointment only.

 

As always, cats that are ready to be adopted are spayed/neutered, have age appropriate shots, are micro-chipped, dewormed/deflead, and FEL/FIV tested.

Additional adoption info

Our animal listings are updated daily to reflect any adoptions, sometimes even minutes after the adoption. Should you see an animal you are interested in please visit our website (ahimsahaven.org) to fill out an Adoption Application.

As we are an all volunteer organization, we are not able to answer phone/email inquiries about specific cats until your application has been submitted and approved.

Current fees can be found on our website at ahimsahaven.org

Some animals are part of our Take A Chance On Me program and have a small adoption fee. You can see which ones on our website's "Take A Chance On Me" page.

Our adoption fees include spay or neuter, vaccinations. Ahimsa Haven Animal Rescue is a nonprofit organization, so your donations are tax deductible. Our adoption policies are as follows: We require a signed adoption contract, and payment of adoption fee prior to placement. Fee is refundable if the animal is returned within 30 days. We require that the animal be returned to our care, in the event the placement does not work out even if that is many years in the future.

Adoption application

More about this rescue

Ahimsa Haven was incorporated in 1999 as a nonprofit animal rescue group. Our mission is to find good homes for abandoned, homeless and unwanted domestic animals.

Ahimsa is a term from an eastern religion that means "To do no harm, in thought or deed, to any living creature". Every penny we raise goes to the animals - no one gets a salary!
